I want to easily be able to change the UI apperance (colors & logo)

  • 0

I want to easily be able to change the UI apperance (colors & logo) of an app and thought to ask if someone has any suggestions on how best to do it.

What I want is simply to replace an XML-file in the project before compiling it and having the resources (i.e. the color values in colors.xml) set to the values of the XML.
The only problem seems to be that there is no way to change resources at runtime(?)

Is there any way of changing the resources automatically at authortime?

The whole point of simply replacing the XML file for different UI apperances is to save time and minimize the amount of editing different parts of the code.

    If I understand your question correctly then I think all you want is Theming for your application, I do not know whether you can change Resources in runtime or not, but you can definitely have separate themes for each of your UI component, which you can apply dynamically.

    A good guide on Theming can be found here:

    Try the theming and see if it works for you or not.

    Thanks
